Wow, great Midland Inn model, is that in an available hak?

               New on The Sanctum Blog:

The Sky Over Rayche

Here’s a screenshot and video clip showcasing Sanctum 3′s unique flying system. These use the Sanctum Flying Skyscape tileset, custom developed for the series by the very talented Estelindis.

               I've recently updated the new Sanctum Blog to include a current version of the information from my old "writing projects" pages. That can now be found from the tab bar under the header image (for example, here).

               A warning to players who try to play Sanctum of the Archmage 2 with CEP 2.4 installed: the current version of CEP messes up the pegasus model. Here is what they are supposed to look like, with the CEP 2.2 haks installed:



and here's the same Pegasus with the CEP 2.4 haks installed:



For some reason (presumably as an oversight in adding Draygoth's rideables), CEP added a pair of extraneous wings onto the existing model, despite the fact that it is not supposed to have them; it was originally designed for wings to be added via the wing slot using the toolset or script. This isn't just a Sanctum problem; any other module that uses these pegasi as originally designed will have been broken by the CEP 2.4 update. (For more details on this, see here).

Players should note that the current version of Sanctum of the Archmage (v3.4) was built using CEP 2.2, and I can vouch for it working with CEP 2.2 installed. It should also be playable with later versions of the CEP, since CEP updates are supposed to be backward compatible with previous versions. In practice, though, this isn't always the case, and this appears to be an example of it.

I've already worked out a fix for this and should be able to post an updated "patch hak" to the module page in a day or so. I'll post a follow-up message here when that's up.

               I just posted an update to the “patch hak” (to level 3.4a) for Sanctum of the Archmage Chapters 1 and 2. The patch adds a couple of very minor playability features, and fixes a couple of bugs:

Patch Update 3.4a to Sanctum 1 & 2

The updated patch hak is available on the module download pages for Sanctum 1 and Sanctum 2.

Sanctum v4 Update Coming Soon!

"I wanted to announce that I’ve started work on a major update to Sanctum 1 and 2, to add a number of features to them that I’ve been developing for Sanctum 3. I’m hoping to get that out in the fall, and it will include (among other things)..."

March of the Guardians

"This patch adds a cutscene that I’ve always wanted to include in the climactic confrontation from Sanctum 1. Players will probably get the idea from the title, but here’s a video clip for anyone interested..."

               Looks nice and epic. I'm glad to hear that some NWN1 modules still receive updates and sequels. Good luck AndarianTD with your project.

               Merry Christmas from The Sanctum!

Well, it took a little work, but I finally managed to get the cast together for a little party and to pose for a Christmas card photo. So a Very Happy Holiday from all of us here at The Sanctum!



And thanks to TarotRedhand for his NWN Map Mats Ice Sculpture Christmas Card Kit!

               A new update from The Sanctum Blog:

March of the Guardians, v4: Guardians vs. Hellman

"Here’s a preview from the upcoming v4.0 release of Sanctum of the Archmage: The Sight. It’s the climactic cutscene that I added with the Sanctum v3.4b patch, now re-written with the lore from the world of the Sanctum novels that I’m introducing in the new version. The Hellmen are allied with the demons — and may be making an appearance again later in the saga."

               That looks impressive Andarian '> Looks better than a bunch of Drow at least!

I always thought it a bit strange that there were drow and deep gnomes in the first Scatum mod. They never seemed to quite fit.
